Chapter 181 Get Out
Xie Yun had discovered that every time he showed weakness and acted pitiful, Qi Yue couldn't do anything to him. This trick worked no matter how many times he used it.
But he also understood that it was because she had him in her heart that she allowed him to make trouble and lose his temper, so he cherished her very much.
Because they went out late in the afternoon, Lin Xu and Wu Ming had not returned by dinner time. Shao Si Yan also did not return today as it was his turn to work the night shift.
Therefore, there were only Qi Yue, Xie Yun, Liang Cen and Gui Ta'an Zhen at the dinner table.
Gui Ta'an Zhen looked at Xie Yun and asked, "Princess, who is this?"
Qi Yue: "My man."
Hearing this simple and domineering answer, Guita Anzhen almost choked on his own saliva.
Which number is this?
Xie Yun was more serious: "I heard from the princess that Brother An Zhen is An Ze's elder brother? I am Xie Yun, a humble servant, and I am a tutor in the Hanlin Academy."
Gui Ta An Zhen suppressed his cough and said, "So it's Xie Shidu. I'm so sorry."
After dinner, he ordered people to close the main courtyard door, and He Xiang and Leng Yue also left.
Qi Yue and Xie Yun were the only ones left in the huge main courtyard.
Looking at the moon hanging high above his head and feeling the slightly warm night breeze brushing his cheeks, Qi Yue felt that it seemed a bit too exciting.
When she looked at Xie Yun again, she saw that he looked very excited, which made her speechless.
"Princess, do you want to bathe in the courtyard or go back to the bathroom? I can do either."
She twitched her lips: "Let's go to the bathroom..."
Xie Yun curled his lips and asked slyly, "Princess, are you scared?"
Qi Yue said calmly: "I was afraid that you would be tired. By the time you moved the bathtub and hot water out, most of the night had passed."
He paused, then thought about it and realized that it did make sense. It would be bad if he waited for Lin Xu and Wu Ming to come back.
Xie Yun acted decisively, picked the man up by the waist, and walked quickly into the house.
"Princess, I will carry you to the bathroom."
Qi Yue leaned in his arms, looked at the blue veins on his neck bulging from the exertion, and touched his handsome face with amusement.
"Why rush? Take your time."
After taking a bath, her fair skin was faintly pink, and his face was also pink.
Xie Yun brought a thin blanket, wrapped her up, and carried her out of the room into the yard.
There was a stone table in the yard. The person was placed on the table and the thin blanket slid down and directly spread on the table.
Feeling the warm night breeze, under the moonlight, the person on the stone table seems to be emitting a pink and shiny glow.
It looks like a piece of exquisitely carved jade in the shape of a human, so beautiful that it is beyond words.
Qi Yue half-propped himself up, with a thin blanket underneath, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Her voice was soft and pleasant: "What are you standing there for? Do you need me to remind you what to do?"
Xie Yun half-knelt down.
The sound of cicadas began to chirp from the treetops in the courtyard...
…
The imperial edict drafted by Concubine Yue had been sent to Suyang City at full speed.
When Murong Jueli heard the decree, there was a flash of disbelief in his eyes, and Xiao Chenlu's face was also full of suspicion.
Xiao Aotian took over the decree on behalf of Murong Jueli and said loudly, "Eunuch Li, you have worked hard. It is getting late today. You should rest for a night before setting off. This general has already arranged for people to prepare wine and food."
Eunuch Li returned the greeting and said, "Then I'll have to trouble General Xiao."
After everyone left, Murong Jueli couldn't wait to ask, "Grandfather, what does the emperor mean? He has already demoted me to a commoner, why is he summoning me back now?"
Xiao Aotian pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "News came from the Imperial City that the Third Prince is dead, the Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Princes are either disabled or disfigured, and even the Ninth Prince fell into the water and nearly died, so I asked you to stay put for the past few days."
"It's really strange that these brothers of yours have been in trouble one after another. I suspect the person behind the scenes is waiting for you to return and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Xiao Chenlu also said in a deep voice: "Father is right... I just don't know who is behind this, and why his methods are so cruel."
After all, Xiao Aotian is a veteran with more than 30 years of experience, and he was also the top scholar in both civil and military affairs of the Kingdom of Li. Although he is old now, his mind is still sharp.
He pondered for only a moment before coming to the conclusion: "I suspect that the person behind all this is Captain Yue Zhen."
Xiao Chenlu was surprised and asked, "Yue Lao? Why is that? Yue Lao: Didn't you resign long ago and not take care of government affairs?"
Xiao Aotian's expression became more serious: "Second Prince! He must be paving the way for the Second Prince. He is coming back!"
Xiao Chenlu: "Didn't the Second Prince have been taken into the backyard of Princess Yiyang in Dayi? I heard that Princess Yiyang dotes on him very much. Would the Princess be willing to let him leave Dayi?"
Xiao Aotian's face darkened, and he scolded: "Don't underestimate the enemy whether on the battlefield or off the battlefield. Sometimes what you see and hear with your own eyes may not be true!"
Xiao Chenlu bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I will remember my father's words in my heart."
Murong Jue said sternly, "Grandfather, I haven't offended my second brother... He shouldn't do anything to me..."
Xiao Aotian felt a headache looking at his overly innocent grandson, so he could only explain patiently: "You didn't offend him..."
He sighed heavily: "But your mother and Concubine Wen colluded to harm Queen Yue..."
"Grandfather doesn't know what kind of personality the Second Prince has now, but no matter what, you two are separated by the hatred of your mother's murder, I'm afraid it won't end well..."
"This is all the sin your mother committed..."
Murong Jueli felt his mind go blank, and he suddenly thought of the death of his mother.
For a moment, I wondered if my mother’s death was related to my second brother?
But the next second, he shook off the idea. His grandfather said that these things might have been done by his second brother's grandfather. His second brother was already so pitiful.
He couldn't have any more unreasonable things forced upon him.
His mother had told him before that princes and princesses who were sent to other countries as hostages never had a good life.
She often went hungry and had no warm clothes, and was beaten and insulted by others. She was even more pitiful than the girls in his Baixianglou...
On the other side, Murong Heli was taking a shower in the room, and suddenly he sneezed two or three times.
Just as I was rubbing my nose and wondering who was plotting against me, a graceful figure suddenly appeared from behind the screen.
Murong Heli asked alertly: "Who is it!"
Ah Huan walked in shyly and said in sign language: Your Highness, do you need me to add some hot water for you?
He frowned, his face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Get out!"
There was a trace of hurt in Ah Huan's eyes, and she bit her lip pitifully and looked at him.
